He accused the international community of plotting against "the people and the uprising," and he congratulated the political opposition outside the country on obtaining comfortable hotel rooms and political posts. “You can hardly imagine yourself,” Ukaidi said, adding that politicians are more interested in fulfilling the tasks of foreign interests than in addressing the needs of the Syrian people.
Which of the "opposition" is the strongest. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant fighting group in Syria has in recent months captured vast territories in the north of the SAR and has the greatest military power among the opposition forces in the region. This is stated in a study published by CNN, prepared on the basis of information from its own sources and reports of American analysts, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Ivan Pilshchikov.
An expert from Ay-es-Jane research organization, Charles Lister, claims that this group plays a leading role among the rebel forces in northern Syria.

These words came out in response to a journalist's question about whether Iran is ready to use its influence on Hezbollah, in order for it to withdraw units from Syria. In addition, Iranian military advisers and volunteers fighting on the side of the president are in the UAR.
The Iranian Foreign Minister made it clear that Iranians and Lebanese Shiites would leave Syria if foreign Sunni Islamist fighters fighting on the side of the opposition and are supported by Saudi Arabia and Qatar do the same.
Saudi Arabia opened the hunt for illegal migrants. Saudi Arabia begins mass deportations of illegal migrants, reports Matvey Popov ("Vesti").
About 4 million people - those who work in the kingdom illegally, will become personas non grata in Saudi Arabia. “Starting this week, we are launching a massive campaign throughout the kingdom to eradicate such phenomena as permanent violations related to work and residence,” said spokesman for the Saudi Ministry of the Interior, Mansur Al-Turki.
“We gave seven months of delay to ensure that those whose documents were not in order, correct the situation. I think it was a sufficient time, ”- says Deputy Minister of Labor of Saudi Arabia Mifridge al-Hakbani.
However, often illegal immigrants do not want to let the Saudi masters. “My employer does not return my passport and residence permit documents here. All I want is to go back home to Egypt. Now I’m trying to negotiate with our embassy, ”says Egyptian worker Jamal Eid.
From now on, millions of migrant workers in Saudi Arabia will live on pain of imprisonment and expulsion from the country.

In Israel, there are already several such structures, reminds «RT». One wall was built along the border with Egypt, the other - around the Gaza Strip. The new wall will soon grow between Israel and Jordan. The wall is being built on the border with Lebanon and Syria. Finally, the most famous "dividing wall" surrounds the country in the West Bank.

The Japanese "Chernobyl" has come to Alaska.

Radiation can cause considerable damage to residents of the coastal zone of Alaska, especially those in the area of Haynes and Skagveya, reports "RT" with reference to Global Research.
University specialist Douglas Dasher believes that the level of radiation can reach the mid-20th century, when the USSR and the United States actively conducted nuclear tests, including in the Pacific.
Japan does not provide information on real-time leakage, but only after the fact, monitoring data is reported. In the end, nothing can be predicted.
Journalists or terrorists? Recently, the British Prime Minister warned the media about coverage of issues related to the national security of the country. Today, the British authorities have moved from words to deeds: David Miranda, partner of journalist Glenn Greenwald, who publishes Snowden's revelations, has been involved in espionage and terrorism. This correspondent tells "RT" Sarah Firth.
In late August, Miranda was detained at Heathrow Airport. He was interrogated by the 9 watch and seized his documents. During the proceedings, the intelligence services, according to them, established that Miranda was probably involved in espionage and could act to the detriment of Britain’s interests. Glenn Greenwald said that the authorities openly put an equal sign between terrorism and journalism, and this becomes a serious cause for concern.
Scotland Yard brought charges against Miranda. The journalist himself demands to return the seized documents and disputes the legality of his detention.
British scientists have discovered new types of racism. The authorities at the University of Birmingham banned students from wearing sombreros and ponchos. Many young people dressed like that on Halloween. However, the university management found their costumes racist. At the same time, the university authorities stated that students are not allowed to dress up as fictional film characters. Maxim Dinkevich talks about this ("Vesti"), referring to The Telegraph.
Representatives of the local basketball team were outraged by the fact that their suits were suddenly outlawed. Resting athletes even expelled from the student club. “We were dressed like Mexicans, which included only a poncho and a sombrero. Some of us still have a mustache. I do not understand why such an appearance was recognized as racist and in general attracted the attention of the local "anti-fascist police". Does this mean that I have to go berserk every time someone wears a typical Briton? ”Said basketball player Carl Rainsford.
At the same time, a young man who had dressed the main character of the comedy film “The Dictator” was kicked out of the club. Probably, the student was mistaken for a supporter of Mussolini or Hitler.
Protests followed. University authorities have published an open letter to students: “We believe that dressing like Mexicans is unacceptable, since the image you exploit is a stereotype and can create misconceptions about a given nationality. We understand that your intentions were good, but this does not justify such a rough imitation of a foreign culture. ”
The complete lack of a sense of humor (even English) and the inability to admit one’s mistakes are what one can add from oneself as characteristics of the British university elite.

Anatoly Ivanov also spoke about the press conference, which was recently held by the former first head of the Lithuanian State Security Department, the signatory of the Act of Independence, a former deputy of the Seimas Zigmas Vaishvila (who is now trying to stick the label of the KGB agent). This man suggested that President Dalia Grybauskaite could cooperate with the special services of the USSR. This explains her “crazy career growth” in the Soviet era, as well as her “incomprehensible position” when Lithuania gained independence. All that she is doing now, Vaishvila considers serving the interests of Russia.
True, Comrade Vaishvil did not give any documents according to which Grybauskaite would be considered an agent of the Kremlin.
Anatoly Ivanov also told that nowadays the country is Lithuania.
Than Kiev can answer Russia. In the case of Russia's formal approach to resolving gas issues with Ukraine, Kiev reserves the right to respond to the Russian side in the same way, said Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Yuriy Boyko, reports zn.ua with reference to Interfax-Ukraine.

And Gazprom, at the expense of our support, fulfilled its contractual obligations, ”said Boyko, answering journalists' questions in the Kiev region. He stressed: “If there is such a formal approach on the part of Russian colleagues, we reserve the right to use the contract in the same way only for the purchase, and the full responsibility for the transit of gas to Europe by the Russian Gazprom will be entrusted only to them. We will not let our shoulder to them, because if there is a formal approach on their part, the same formal approach will be on our side as well. ”
Then Boyko confirmed the existence of Naftogaz’s debt to Gazprom, stressing that “we do have some problems with the payment of gas by our utility sector”.
"Payments have already gone ..." Naftogaz of Ukraine began paying its debt in 882 million to Gazprom. “Payments have already gone ...

The head of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade also said: “This, of course, will be a long process, because they have very strong procedures - consultations, etc. But naturally, on behalf of Ukraine, we have taken the necessary steps to protect interests. But due to the fact that it is impossible to protect the interests of a particular manufacturer, we must solve this as a problem with our confectionery industry. ”

The journalist quotes Lilia Shevtsova, an expert at the Carnegie Moscow Center: “Russian nationalism is becoming increasingly anti-Kremlin and clearly anti-Putin.

“Iran is ready to call for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Syria,” Zarif said. “We are ready for all those who have influence to seek the withdrawal of all non-Syrians from the territory of the SAR,” he added.
These words came out in response to a journalist's question about whether Iran is ready to use its influence on Hezbollah, in order for it to withdraw units from Syria. In addition, Iranian military advisers and volunteers fighting on the side of the president are in the UAR.

Saudi Arabia opened the hunt for illegal migrants. Saudi Arabia begins mass deportations of illegal migrants, reports Matvey Popov ("Vesti").
About 4 million people - those who work in the kingdom illegally, will become personas non grata in Saudi Arabia. “Starting this week, we are launching a massive campaign throughout the kingdom to eradicate such phenomena as permanent violations related to work and residence,” said spokesman for the Saudi Ministry of the Interior, Mansur Al-Turki.
“We gave seven months of delay to ensure that those whose documents were not in order, correct the situation. I think it was a sufficient time, ”- says Deputy Minister of Labor of Saudi Arabia Mifridge al-Hakbani.
However, often illegal immigrants do not want to let the Saudi masters. “My employer does not return my passport and residence permit documents here. All I want is to go back home to Egypt. Now I’m trying to negotiate with our embassy, ”says Egyptian worker Jamal Eid.
From now on, millions of migrant workers in Saudi Arabia will live on pain of imprisonment and expulsion from the country.

Pure white nation: a broken teacher project. In South Africa, members of the right group "Army of the Boers" were sentenced, writes Daria Eremina "Lenta.ru".
There were more than twenty people in the dock. Their leader, a former university lecturer, Mike du Tua, was sentenced to 35 years in prison, his accomplices would go to jail for terms ranging from five to 35 years.
These people were going to conduct a series of terrorist attacks, kill Nelson Mandela, expel from the country or destroy all black people. The purpose of the planned activities is to defeat crime and end whites discrimination.
D. Eremina recalls that the process in the case of the Army of Boers lasted about nine years. The plot was finally uncovered by the authorities in 2002, and in July 2012 of Mike du Tua (former teacher, teacher stories at the University of Vista in South Africa, as well as the holder of a master’s degree in philosophy, was found guilty of involvement in the explosions in Soweto, a Negro suburb of Johannesburg.
The former teacher worked on the plan for seven years. The final goal, he proclaimed the creation of a racially clean nation of white people in South Africa.
“The plan of the revolution of du Touau was to plunge the country into chaos, and then seize power. At the first stage, it was intended to organize large-scale terrorist attacks in areas where black people live, to blow up the Waal dam, shoot down a passenger plane or kill Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa, who is associated with the end of the apartheid era. A great impression on du Tua was made by 11 September 2001 attacks in the United States. After them, he stated that to implement his own plan, South Africa just needed an event of this magnitude.
It was assumed that while the authorities and the people would recover from the first shock, the Boer Army would seize military bases, gain access to weapons and attack other military targets and the capital, Pretoria. All this was planned to do, of course, with the support of like-minded people in the ranks of the armed forces. The next step was to kill the key ministers and Nelson Mandela, if he were still alive at this point.
After that, the rebels, through their supporters in the energy company Escom, wanted to turn off the electricity in almost the entire country. This, firstly, would exacerbate the panic among the population and disrupt television and transport communications, and secondly, would be a signal for action for the rest of the group. Then the conspirators had to seize key media. In this case, after the restoration of power supply, they could have already announced to the whole country that a “white coup” had begun.

The Japanese "Chernobyl" has come to Alaska. Scientists at the University of Alaska are concerned that the contaminated water from Fukushima-1 has reached the west coast of the state and spreads to the north. Radiation can cause considerable damage to residents of the coastal zone of Alaska, especially those in the area of Haynes and Skagveya, reports "RT" with reference to Global Research.
University specialist Douglas Dasher believes that the level of radiation can reach the mid-20th century, when the USSR and the United States actively conducted nuclear tests, including in the Pacific.
Japan does not provide information on real-time leakage, but only after the fact, monitoring data is reported. In the end, nothing can be predicted.
Journalists or terrorists? Recently, the British Prime Minister warned the media about coverage of issues related to the national security of the country. Today, the British authorities have moved from words to deeds: David Miranda, partner of journalist Glenn Greenwald, who publishes Snowden's revelations, has been involved in espionage and terrorism. This correspondent tells "RT" Sarah Firth.
In late August, Miranda was detained at Heathrow Airport. He was interrogated by the 9 watch and seized his documents. During the proceedings, the intelligence services, according to them, established that Miranda was probably involved in espionage and could act to the detriment of Britain’s interests. Glenn Greenwald said that the authorities openly put an equal sign between terrorism and journalism, and this becomes a serious cause for concern.
Scotland Yard brought charges against Miranda. The journalist himself demands to return the seized documents and disputes the legality of his detention.
British scientists have discovered new types of racism. The authorities at the University of Birmingham banned students from wearing sombreros and ponchos. Many young people dressed like that on Halloween. However, the university management found their costumes racist. At the same time, the university authorities stated that students are not allowed to dress up as fictional film characters. Maxim Dinkevich talks about this ("Vesti"), referring to The Telegraph.
Representatives of the local basketball team were outraged by the fact that their suits were suddenly outlawed. Resting athletes even expelled from the student club. “We were dressed like Mexicans, which included only a poncho and a sombrero. Some of us still have a mustache. I do not understand why such an appearance was recognized as racist and in general attracted the attention of the local "anti-fascist police". Does this mean that I have to go berserk every time someone wears a typical Briton? ”Said basketball player Carl Rainsford.
At the same time, a young man who had dressed the main character of the comedy film “The Dictator” was kicked out of the club. Probably, the student was mistaken for a supporter of Mussolini or Hitler.
Protests followed. University authorities have published an open letter to students: “We believe that dressing like Mexicans is unacceptable, since the image you exploit is a stereotype and can create misconceptions about a given nationality. We understand that your intentions were good, but this does not justify such a rough imitation of a foreign culture. ”
The complete lack of a sense of humor (even English) and the inability to admit one’s mistakes are what one can add from oneself as characteristics of the British university elite.
The Netherlands is judging Russia. The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, will today consider the Netherlands’s arbitration claim against Russia for the arrest of the vessel Arctic Sunrise and the activists of Greenpeace who were there, report "Vesti" with reference to ITAR-TASS.

Lithuania is about to cover Russian compromising. The secret information of the State Security Department of the Republic got into the Lithuanian media. The main intelligence service warns the country's top leaders that Russia is preparing a wave of incriminating evidence against Lithuania and its president, Dalia Grybauskaite. This tells Alexander Pelt ("Voice of Russia").
As the journalist reminds, the document was preceded by a series of scandals around Russian-Lithuanian relations: problems of Lithuanian carriers at the border, a ban on dairy products, the program “Man and Law” about Vilnius events on January 13 1991 (after which the broadcast of the First Channel was banned in Lithuania for three months) , the removal of orders from the logo of the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda in Lithuania.
The editor-in-chief of the Lithuanian Courier weekly, Anatoly Ivanov, explained everything:
“My point of view on this subject fully coincides with the point of view of Professor of Moscow State University Helena Shestopal. Seasonal exacerbation in the Baltic States is associated with the need to divert people's attention from pressing problems and switch it to some kind of external phobia.
In this case, the favorite card of the Lithuanian authorities - the Russophobic card. This is a win-win card that helps mobilize the electorate. Especially if we consider this problem in the context of the upcoming 2014 in May presidential elections. ”
In this case, the favorite card of the Lithuanian authorities - the Russophobic card. This is a win-win card that helps mobilize the electorate. Especially if we consider this problem in the context of the upcoming 2014 in May presidential elections. ”
Anatoly Ivanov also spoke about the press conference, which was recently held by the former first head of the Lithuanian State Security Department, the signatory of the Act of Independence, a former deputy of the Seimas Zigmas Vaishvila (who is now trying to stick the label of the KGB agent). This man suggested that President Dalia Grybauskaite could cooperate with the special services of the USSR. This explains her “crazy career growth” in the Soviet era, as well as her “incomprehensible position” when Lithuania gained independence. All that she is doing now, Vaishvila considers serving the interests of Russia.
True, Comrade Vaishvil did not give any documents according to which Grybauskaite would be considered an agent of the Kremlin.
Anatoly Ivanov also told that nowadays the country is Lithuania.
“... We can drive a car through Lithuania for an hour and a half and not meet people at all - an empty state with all the ensuing consequences. Lack of industry, disfigured, raped agriculture, very low standard of living ... ”
Than Kiev can answer Russia. In the case of Russia's formal approach to resolving gas issues with Ukraine, Kiev reserves the right to respond to the Russian side in the same way, said Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Yuriy Boyko, reports zn.ua with reference to Interfax-Ukraine.
“If we take purely partnership with our Russian colleagues, we have always insured them during peak periods, when it was important to preserve the transit of gas to Europe. And Gazprom, at the expense of our support, fulfilled its contractual obligations, ”said Boyko, answering journalists' questions in the Kiev region. He stressed: “If there is such a formal approach on the part of Russian colleagues, we reserve the right to use the contract in the same way only for the purchase, and the full responsibility for the transit of gas to Europe by the Russian Gazprom will be entrusted only to them. We will not let our shoulder to them, because if there is a formal approach on their part, the same formal approach will be on our side as well. ”
Then Boyko confirmed the existence of Naftogaz’s debt to Gazprom, stressing that “we do have some problems with the payment of gas by our utility sector”.
"Payments have already gone ..." Naftogaz of Ukraine began paying its debt in 882 million to Gazprom. “Payments have already gone ... It will be enough to close this issue,” the Minister of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine, Edward Stavitsky, told reporters. As notes Interfax, Gazprom confirmed the words of Stavitsky, noting that they received less than 10% debt in August from Kiev. “Small payments are coming in, but this is still tears - until full payment of the debt at such a rate is far,” said company spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov.
The debt of Ukraine for gas in 882 million dollars was announced by 29 of October, Chairman of the Board of Gazprom OAO Alexey Miller. At a conference call with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, he proposed to consider in the near future the issue of advance payments - as stipulated in the contract.
Commenting on the emergence of large indebtedness, Vadim Chuprun, deputy head of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine, said that it was formed for the following reasons: 1) Ukrainian consumers in 2013 increased their indebtedness to Naftogaz; The Ukrainian authorities have not transferred to Naftogaz 10,7 billion hryvnia (42 billion rubles) compensation for the difference between the purchase and selling prices of fuel.
On November 5, Naftogaz of Ukraine announced that the state budget and consumers should have a total of about 3,5 billion dollars in companies.
Ukraine will rescue the WTO. Ukraine turned to the WTO about protecting the interests of their pastry chefs. This was announced to journalists by the Minister of Economic Development and Trade of the country, Igor Prasolov, reports Interfax.
“Regarding the WTO: we are already doing relevant work in the WTO on this issue (the appeal of the corporation“ Roshen ”to protect its interests. - Note.“ Interfax ”). Our representative has already voiced this problem, and in Geneva they already know about this problem. And now we are preparing further steps, ”the official said.
The head of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade also said: “This, of course, will be a long process, because they have very strong procedures - consultations, etc. But naturally, on behalf of Ukraine, we have taken the necessary steps to protect interests. But due to the fact that it is impossible to protect the interests of a particular manufacturer, we must solve this as a problem with our confectionery industry. ”

The journalist quotes Lilia Shevtsova, an expert at the Carnegie Moscow Center: “Russian nationalism is becoming increasingly anti-Kremlin and clearly anti-Putin.

To divide the state in half, Congress permission is required.
The congress, we would add, would hardly have allowed the state to break apart if President Obama was not in the United States. As part of the confrontation between the Republican congressmen and the executive branch of power, the first could get another reason to boycott the medical insurance program, called Obamacare, and other initiatives of the White House administration. The next crisis of power in the United States is expected in January-February next year.
Have a nice day, comrades.
